If you've found yourself interested in either cooking or eating more offal recipes, but aren't quite ready to dive in head-first, we have a suggestion: dive in liver-first. Chicken livers, we mean.

Chicken liver recipes are like the offal gateway drug. They're mild enough for even the most timid offal eater, and delicious enough to make you wonder what other flavors are lurking out there in the other nasty bits. For some of us, it was our grandmother's chopped liver recipe that got us started. For some, a chicken liver paté at a party. If you haven't found the recipe that's made you love chicken livers yet, we bet we've got one in the list below.
